Mom arrested for leaving kids in car to go hog hunting

A Florida mom was arrested after police say she left her two young children inside her car in near-freezing temperatures so that she could go hog hunting.

Kayla Shavers, of New Port Richey, was charged with child neglect on Thursday, WTSP reports.

The 31-year-old who said she went after the hogs because they had been tearing up her property, allegedly left her 9-year-old and 8-month-old alone in the car, which was not running, around 7 a.m. on Thursday. The temperature was 38 degrees, according to WPTV. The 9-year-old did not have a coat.
